Best Of: Beauty Tips

I love trying new products, talking to beauty industry insiders/professionals

and am on a constant quest to find better methods and products

for application and daily maintenance.

As always, take my advice with a grain of salt,

consult with professionals and do what is right for you!

Never Sleep with Your Makeup On

Sleeping in your makeup can set you back so much, I can’t even tell you how bad it is.

I have fallen asleep in my makeup once or twice and instantly regretted it (often after a night out.)

I looked like a different person! My skin was uneven, definitely not as smooth.

Overall it was just awful. It takes a lot of time and effort to get your skin back to the pristine

condition it was in before, so please don’t make this mistake.

Always Cleanse, Tone, and Moisturize

Always cleanse, tone, and moisturize (as often as you’re able, we all have had those nights.

Maintain this regimen in the morning and at nighttime before you go to bed.

If you’ve worn makeup or you feel your skin is particularly dirty, do a double cleanse.

Only use products that suit your skin though, or you could make things worse.

I like to use a serum as well (but will blog about my current cleansing routine

soon as I have been trying out some new products lately)

Use Contouring to Change Your Face Shape

I love this contouring, but it can take some practice. Use contouring and you can change your face shape. You can literally create the perfect face shape with the help of contouring. Invest in good quality brushes and sponges and some decent makeup and you’re good to go!

Get in front of the computer with a mirror and find a good YouTube tutorial and practice away.

These are amazing tips!!! I was told when I was teenager that every night you sleep with your makeup on, you age 10 years… I don't know if that's true, but it scared me enough to never do it! I will admit to not cleaning my makeup brushes as often as I should. I think the biggest change in my skin came when I gave up dairy and chocolate. I'd heard that it would make my skin clearer, but I didn't really believe it until it tried it!Kisses,Sarahhttp://everydaystarlet.com/

It’s nice to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same unwanted rehashed information. Excellent read!
